WHAT IS THE LANDING?
The Landing is an ongoing program for students . . . The Landing can help foster hope, truth and joy, as teenagers embark on an exciting journey of engaging videos, meaningful experiences, vibrant worship, and great conversation as they develop true, bonding friendships with others. We know that, in our world today, students struggle, on a daily basis, with things like depression, anxiety, loneliness, isolation, bullying, peer pressure, family conflict, self-worth, etc. The Landing is a place where students can feel welcomed and supported just as they are. The Landing is meant to not only walk with students through hurts, hang-ups and habits, but it is also a resource that can be applied in preventing future struggles.

The Family Acceptance Project (FAP) is providing a free full-day training on April 25 in Detroit, MI for health, mental health, social service and school-based providers, families and religious leaders on FAP’s research-based family support approach for helping diverse families learn to support their LGBT children. A critical aspect of FAP's prevention and intervention approach is suicide prevention.
